[1]The title of the seuenthe salm. For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny.
[2]Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
[3]Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
[4]Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
[5]if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
[6]myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
[7]Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
[8]And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
[9]And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
[10]The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
[11]Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
[12]The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
[13]If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
[14]And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
[15]Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
[16]He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
[17]His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
